Themes / Re: Preview snap of robospin's next update

« on: July 04, 2016, 09:01:03 AM »

Hi omegaman,

When I added your latest version of robospin the flyer background doesn't show the boxart I had setup?
Is there a change to the settings for the background flyer.

When I made the change the background only displays the flyer.png file
Any help much appreciated

Thanks akafox for the reply.
Is there anywhere you (or anyone who can help) could point me to understand how to view the backend files of attract mode.

I've got attract mode running on my pi alongside emulation station and retropie... But unlike retropie that I normally use \\retropie\ to see the roms, bios, configs and splashscreens I don't know where to view similar for attract. The scrapper that runs on attract must save the files somewhere but my noob question is where and how do I view the files to copy and change where needed really....

Any helps really appreciated. Thanks in advance

General / /.attract how to access from windows

« on: June 17, 2016, 03:46:49 AM »

Apologies for what is likley to be an obvious noob question...

On retropie I can use windows to connect to my pi and add roms, artwork etc. \Retropie\ from explorer.

How do I access /.attract from windows if that's possible. Any artwork that's scrapped I'm assuming is stored there and I don't know how to access it to make changes?
Bit baffled
Apologies again for the question if it's stupid

Don't know if it's just me but I tried to download the 17gb image 3 times but when I open the file it states corrupt. :\

Hi All,

Just wanted to say thanks to Floob and progets
I've used the v4 of the Floob image to setup my Attract Mode running on a Pi 3

Some photos of the build here
Cheers

Looks great

How did you put in the marquee emulators logos? 

Probably not the simple option but I ran a command to export all the file names of the roms for each console I was using to get a list.
Then used a logo for each console (if I could find a transparent background one I would) Then copied the image to the Marquee folder and repeat copied it for the amount of roms so had the same image X amount of times and exported a list of these file names
Then ran a batch script which renamed each logo file to the rom name one after another to get a full list of marquee files for each rom...

Hope I explained that??? Sounds complicated, it wasn't really, I can share the scripts and process in detail if that's allowed and people want the info. Cheers

Hi All.

Can anyone help me set up some emulators that aren't already pre configured in Floobs image.

I'm trying to add the following and when performing "add emulator" from the menu I'm stuck where to input the emulator location under Command Arguments.
The emulators I'm trying to add are
N64
Atari 7800
Atari Jaguar
Sega 32x

If anyone can advise the path locations that the emulators would be from retropie for me to add these emulators i'd be massively grateful
